Moses Edwin Clapp (May 21, 1851 – March 6, 1929) was an American politician. He served as the Minnesota Attorney General from 1887 until 1893. In 1900, he entered the special election for Minnesota's seat in the United States Senate that was made vacant by the death of Cushman Davis. He won that election, and was later reelected in 1904 and 1910 for two additional terms. He served in the Senate from January 23, 1901 to March 3, 1917, a term that spanned the 57th, 58th, 59th, 60th, 61st, 62nd, 63rd, and 64th Congresses. He was not renominated by the party in 1916. He is most noted for taking numerous fact-finding trips that produced negligible results, all of which were funded by Congress.[citation needed]
